Once more into the Frozen City!

This week I’ve come back to picking up the brush. Last week felt like it got away from me and i didn’t manage to douching  painting at all last week.
On the weekend though I felt very enthused after a lovely day out with the family. On saturday we went to the Glastonbury Medieval Fayre down in the abbey grounds. Such a lovely place and the weather was really on our side. We did a little shopping and talking to reenactors in their tents. But the main events for us were watching a jester/fire eater/sword swallower (all one person) the jousting and Viking reenactors in a melee. And what was great was how they interacted with the kids. Reenactors showing the kids the armour, the weapons, the food and the dress. I dont know how many photos me and the misses took of the kids holding swords lol. Was very inspiring ive got to behonest, all very interesting. If I’d had finished some of the minis they could have come with me for some photos out, disappointing when it was such a lovely back drop.

After being enthused i started back on the painting back log. Making sure I had a copy of my list to hand i got on with it. But also may have finished painting some supplement miniatures.

First was a pair small constructs. Granted I only needed one, I had a pair and well it’ll always come in handy if my wizard makes one at the same time. It’s a reaper bones leech I bought years ago. I fancied painting it up metallic like as it reminded me of the old zoids worm. I had that one. Remember zoids, definitely showing my age there.

Base coat – white acrylic colourforge
Speed paint – broadsword silver
Dry brush – chainmail silver
Strong tone – to darken it slightly.

Next was some imps, i have more to come thats for sure. These are spare left overs from wood elves from years ago and a gribbly daemon from a red corsair character. All were nice little victires to paint.

Base coat – white acrylic colourforge
Speed paint – poppy red (1 sprite and daemon)
Speed paint – lich purple (sprite)
Dry brush – plain red
Dry brush – heavy violet
Teeth and eye details – warpaint desert bone
Strong tone – for definition

The wild dogs i came from at a different angle as i wanted them to be quite dark. A neighbour used to have a Irish wolf hound/lurcher and always thought it looked cool. So when I saw these on northstar I grabbed them.

Base coat – black acrylic colourforge
Speed paint – graveyard grey
Dry brush – dark grey
Dry brush- fortress grey
Very light Dry brush – fortress grey/white
Teeth and eye details – black with dark grey highlighting 

Right, here’s where I’ve deviated slightly(alot). I get the Medieval thing for boars, i get it lol. But never really liked any boar miniatures, I used to play beastmen alot so I have boars from the chariots, but yeh just don’t like them. But I had bought this reaper bones basilisk and liked it for the Boar, it feels slightly more magical. I’ve affectionately called mine Joanna, for self explanatory reasons.

Base coat – white acrylic colourforge
Speed paint – raging sea
